Operational Excellence in the Age of AI: Tools to Transformation
Most AI “transformations” aren’t transformations at all.
They’re tool rollouts wearing strategy’s clothing. Executives green-light a new platform, IT flips the switch, usage reports show a spike in logins…and six months later the organization is no faster, no smarter, and no more resilient than it was before. Because access isn’t adoption, and adoption still isn’t integration. This talk dives deep into why so many large tech initiatives fail (hint: it’s not the software) and what it really takes to build organizations where AI isn’t a bolt-on tool but part of “how we work” every day. The result is a practical, forward-looking blueprint for leaders who want more than pilots and press releases. This talk is for leaders who want an enterprise that is faster, clearer, and genuinely transformed.
Key Takeaways:
Confront the real barriers to AI integration and fix the people-process gaps derailing adoption
Build clarity, capability, and accountability into your operating model so AI actually changes how work gets done
Mobilize leaders to drive enterprise-wide behavior shifts, not just tool usage
